Journalists at Saudi consulate in Istanbul spotting cleaners coming into building just before Turkish investigators are scheduled to arrive to probe Jamal Khashoggi disappearance (via APTN feed)

Cuz the way to preserve the integrity of a possible crime scene and bolster confidence in the investigation is to bring in a bunch of cleaners through the front door before the detectives arrive Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

Just leaving the Saudi consulate now. A little bit of activity, lots of journalists but no sign yet of Turkish investigators Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

Dear pro-MbS tweeps:

If you are in the kingdom, instead of trolling me, send me a DM and let’s chat. I am curious how all this is playing inside Saudi and what people are saying about the Jamal Khashoggi case. My DMs are open

From the report, re: Syria: "In 2018 Russia is likely looking for ways to get involved in other conflict areas in the Middle East and Africa. The main purpose of such activity is to irritate the West, and not necessarily contribute to the resolution of these conflicts."

From the report: "In the Persian Gulf region, Russia is trying to undermine the US-led regional security architecture. To do so, Russia is trying to benefit from the frictions between the US and its Arab allies concerning, above all, Iran’s role in the region."

Incredible rage toward the security forces in Tuyserkan, a county seat of 40,000 in the province of Hamadan. This could be a scene out of Sidi Bouzid seven years ago. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

Amazing: In Iran’s city of Rasht protestors chant against the IRGC and Basiji militia while warmly welcoming members of the security forces into their midst Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

Observation: In three days of Iran protests, not a single green ribbon or banner, no references to Khatami, Mousavi, or Karroubi, no posters or portraits or banners of any sort - but lots of slogans against Khamenei, regime, IRGC.

The Khashoggi incident will be blown wide open...again. This time, will @POTUS make his move?

2. @LindseyGrahamSC gave a STRONG statement after a secret briefing by the C_A about the #Khashoggi incident. Watch this whole video (7 minutes), not just the portions being given by others. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has been put on notice.

3. Graham pulls no punches in addressing MBS and his abusive, chaotic, dangerous, criminal behavior. This is going to resonate widely throughout the Senate and I believe it will be addressed on the Senate floor in the coming days. Some think this issue is not an important one.

Turkish newspaper Sabah has passenger lists for the two planes HZ-SK1 and HZ-SK2 which arrived from Riyadh to Ankara on the day #JamalKhashoggi disappeared into the Saudi consulate: 9 on the first, 6 on the second, Saudi officials + intelligence officers. nytimes.com/2018/10/09/wor…

The NYTimes publishes a timeline with most of the reported information about the disappearance and possible murder of Jamal Khashoggi. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…

"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"

"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.

2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
